Grady V’s American Bistro900 Country Club Blvd., ThibodauxFrank Ball was raised in the blues and jazz. He was playing gigs at age 14, and afterward he would jam with famous blues artist Roosevelt Sykes at Troxie’s Floating Palace on the Intracoastal Canal. He is a must-see on the guitar. Just him and his guitar, but that’s all he needs. His style is very appreciated. He plays songs like Sontana’s “Maria, Maria,” and “Softy As in a Morning Sunrise.” Now, Frank plays it all ... from Sinatra to Stevie Ray Vaughn, and he performs from 5 to 10 p.m. Fridays at Grady V’s American Bistro inside the Bayou Country Club in Thibodaux.
